so i was wrong. it's not RSAF day parade after all. it's a parade for the inauguration of SMII. aka SAF military intelligence parade. quite a small scale parade tho with like only slightly above a 100 people in the marching contingent? but the matter of the fact is tt bigshots are gonna be aplenty on the actual day! generals and crabs swarming ard the place! COA and CDF are coming down so the pressure is more intense! today till friday are rehearsals, actual parade is on friday evening! so by the time i get home on friday it'll be insanely late! oh well. looking forward to the off days that we'll be getting hopefully!
it's amazing how i have lost 6 months of my life to the SAF and it still feels like only yesterday.
that aside, i've been going out quite a fair bit. so lots of stuff to distract me from the nonsense and pressures (not like there's much pressure but it does get VERY TIRING and mundane) at work. from shooting photographs of fireworks and getting muddy feet in the process, to random late night jaunts at geylang for food (what were u guys thinking HUH) to cell grp bbq over the weekend. yayness! though its been a long-drawn week all these activities have certainly served to refresh my spirit so to speak. haha.
my work now is no walk in the park, but i must admit, compared to other guys i've alr gotten the better deal. so i shall just be thankful for what i have i guess! (:

wow i just got informed that i'm gonna be involved in RSAF day parade. probably some small thing at murai camp or tengah air base.. i don't know exactly what yet. well the last time i ever took part (or anyone who enlisted in mar/apr for that matter) in a parade was during BMT! haha. ages ago la. though i can remember the commands and stuff but standing in the hot sun aint a joke! at least its not in cardboard-like no.4 uniform so yeah. i'm FINALLY getting to wear my no.3 for once (HAHAHA getting excited over sth so minor as that, gee.)
rehearsals are next week so that will mean time away from the workplace (and hopefully a lot of OFF days too heh). haha well its a break from routine in a way so i'm quite grateful for that i guess (: something new to experience and to look forward to!
you know its only been two days and i'm already so worn out. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE MUCH AT ALL. must have been the extended weekend last week that made me so soft. though i must say having that long break felt really really good. wonder how tired i would have been had there been no break. basically my life at work has been revolving around painting vehicles so its getting a little monotonous. but it seems there isnt much to do except all these necessary stuff, so i guess i don't really have much of a choice until sth new comes in i guess.

hahah im blogging at weird hours again. cos most of my unit is on OFF today. yup, every NSF's favourite 3-letter word. don't know why i'm up so early though. thanks to sleeping 7 hours every night i think my body clock has been adjusted. gahh. there goes my chances of sleeping in every weekend!
the past week has been revolving ard the same old thing. painting land rovers. i've been going home with paint all over my clothes and my hands. ok i exaggerate. i clean up my hands before goin home of cos. but i dont have much of a choice when it comes to dirty clothes. 3 more vehicles to finish up painting and we're done. can't wait to wash my hands off this project! haha.
i want my posting to come sooner! it's getting somewhat meaningless doing all these kinda stuff for so long! argrhhh!
shit im outta inspiration alr. haha.

i just out-of-course (OOC) -ed myself from driver course. FFI declared me unfit for driver course until 31/07/2009. that's like after i ORD. gee. so i won't be going over to sembawang camp tmr after all. looks like i gotta be less lazy with this place. hahaha. no excuse already considering i was supposed to stay in for course but now i won't have to.
half day leave during midweek never felt so good. good to have a respite from working once in a while just to keep sane and everything. (:
